Every day during the month of November we are sharing a story of a person's transformation and how the Crossroads and Imagine family has helped them find unwavering hope. If your aren't receiving the morning email that has a scripture, prayer, a focus for the day, and one these powerful stories, you can sign up here .

These stories show us what God is doing in the 168 hours of these people's lives. They help us to see how important the unlimited welcome of Jesus, as seen and offered by the Crossroads family, really is in our community.

In a world where so many of us can feel isolated, left out or like we don't fit in, there is a huge need for a church like ours. People need to feel like they belong.

One person alone cannot create this kind of welcoming presence; it takes all of us together. In that spirit I want to say thank you to everyone who welcomes "the stranger" into the family of God. Thank you for your prayers, your financial support, and your presence, for together we are the Body of Christ with skin on - both inside and outside the church building 168 hours a week.

Every day as we serve others with love and welcome, we are changing the world.

Every day people are finding the gift of unwavering hope through our acts of service.

I hope you can spend one of your 168 hours this week together on Sunday, to once again be inspired by song, prayers, a story, a message of hope and being in the community of fellow travelers on the journey of life.

I am looking forward to being with you.
